Anywho, after hosting a Japanese exchange student for two weeks, I wanted to try learning some Japanese. Soo...out to the local Chapters I went, seeking for some form of lingual education. The results turned up a book that I worked hard at for about three weeks, then dropped like a very piping hot coal....

So, in order to get myself back on track, I searched the fantastic Google and came upon this site.

Frankly, I found the book boring and more for people who are leaving for Japan in a few weeks and don't want to starve to death or never find their way back to the airport...I'm looking for an approach were I could write to friends back in Japan (because I now have a few) and say something besides, 'The library is to the right'...
